Bridging the Gap Between Campus Ministry and Church
On university campuses around the world, CMF provides Christian communities for students who, very often, are not Christian. Our Globalscope campus ministries are unique in that Christians, atheists, agnostics and anyone in between can find community together. Their time spent as part of a Globalscope ministry, a community centered on the love of God, is life changing.
Partnering with Compassion
Aaron and Morganne Weeks are missionaries serving with CMF in Ethiopia. Here they share the many ways that Compassion Christian Church has supported them and the ministry there.
Over the past few months our home church, Compassion Christian Church, has sent two separate short-term groups to visit our families and the ministry work here in Ethiopia.
Experience Missions with a REACH Summer Internship!
For over thirty years, CMF has been sending teams of young adults to serve for 8 weeks each summer alongside long-term CMF ministries. Through a mentored and guided experience, interns are given the opportunity to come and learn about missions in a hands-on context. Interns are trained before they serve and are given space to process their experience and what God might be calling them to next after returning from the field.

Missionaries and Partner Churches: A Symbiotic Relationship
Joel and Rachel grew up in Champaign-Urbana, IL, but met at Lincoln Christian University. Rachel took many short-term mission trips and served in her local church, while Joel invested himself in students through church camps, youth programs, and coaching. For several years, they have served as missionaries with CMF, but even as they transitioned from life and ministry in the States to life and ministry in Kenya, they hoped for a true partnership with their supporting churches in the US.

Working Together to Care for Ukrainian Refugees
Global missions is not something that can be done alone. It requires a partnership of missionaries, supporters, local partners, multiple organizations, and staff all working together to cross borders and cultures, especially during challenging circumstances.
Sending Professors to Teach Overseas
The Seminary of the Nations was established to take seminary level education to teachers and preachers around the globe. “Teaching the teachers” was the mission and over the 15+ years of its existence, it equipped local church leaders in over 40 countries.
Reframing the Fellowship for the Next 75 Years
